Does A Picture Do It Justice? Reality VS Photography

Does a photo do reality justice? That is the question that I will be exploring today! Despite the fact that we have advanced to be able to produce three dimensional photography and video, there is still a difference between a photo and what something looks like in reality; that is, how it looks like to human vision. But have you ever wondered why, or how, this is? Even though a photo can capture as many details as a human's eyes can, especially after post processing, there's still a difference. The light and dark areas or contrast in a photo doesn't change; it's static. On the other hand, what we see changes according to what area we look at. An ideal photo that would represent reality well would change according to which area we were looking at. If we were to look at an area that would be in shadow, then the whole photo, or at least the area that we are looking at, would become brighter. And if we were looking at an area that is brighter than the rest of the image, then that area should become darker. Therefore, contrast would probably change. There; that's the difference between a photo and reality. Our vision is adaptive, but a photo isn't. A photo cannot adapt to contrast or light and dark as it doesn't change.
